Tehran, Dec 9 (ICANA) – Head of the parliament's Human Rights Commission Zohreh Elahian blamed the US officials for the recent increase in terrorist attacks in Afghanistan which have killed a large number of innocent civilians in the country, and said there are many documents proving that Americans have had meetings with terrorists in the war-torn country.

"It is now 10 years that the Afghan soil was occupied by the US military forces and documents indicate that the US officials hold official meetings with the terrorist groups," Elahian said on Wednesday.

Earlier news by the western media in July said that the US officials have met with a senior aide to the fugitive Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar at least three times in recent months.

The western media also reported that meetings have been facilitated by Germany and Qatar, but US officials have been present each time, meeting with Tayeb Agha, who is a personal assistant to Omar.
